Frost Spiders resemble large white hunting-spiders with blue eyes.
Combat:
Frost Spiders a usually attack en masse, a biting horde of spiders. Lone frost spiders prefer to target lone prey rather than larger groups, usually hiding in a snow-bank close to a well travelled path, waiting until suitable prey passes by, before striking.

Icewalking (Ex): A frost spider moves across frozen surfaces as though it was affected by a spiderclimb spell.
Skills: Frost spiders get a +4 racial bonus to spot checks, due to it's many eyes. It also gets a +8 racial bonus to hide in icy conditions due to it's coloration.
